You need to find the flatest place on the roof. alignment is critical on satellites with the orientation and inclination angles. We had a crankup satellite antenna on our 2003 Montana and it came with a digital inclination angle meter so no one had to go up on the roof. No, it never leaked. and yes, sometimes there were trees in the way. But watching where you park takes care of the problem. On our new 2005 we had an automatic antenna mounted on the roof and it is only 4 inches higher than the A/C. So far I haven't had any problems with it. There are no holes in the roof. And All of the wires were routed through the cap and then resealed. We do look like a pregnant guppy coming down the road. We used to carry an extra antenna around with us in case we were under trees, but never used it. So we sold it. Both antennas were purchased and installed at Camping World.
